The old bathroom dividers will become the new countertops. This is no joke. When Bexley moves city hall out of its soon-to-be-demolished building and into the strip mall next door, it will bring along the heavy gray marble slabs that once separated one mans business from anothers.

And people will put food on them.

I have been assured that they will be properly sanitized, said the mayors assistant, Debbie Maynard.

When the hallmark of your project is clever repurposing, this kind of thing happens.

By the end of January, the people who run Bexley will have cleared out of the 65-year-old building at 2242 E. Main St., which will then be demolished to make way for the much-anticipated, two-story Giant Eagle Market District Express.

City Hall is moving just a few yards away, to the back of the Bexley Square shopping center. It will fill up the space that once housed the beloved Bexley Monk restaurant, a $790,000 repurposing project that presented its own special challenges.

Well, (the mayor) told you about the smell, didnt he? said architect Andrew Rosenthal.

Grease. Overwhelming, dense, clinging-to-the-walls grease, the byproduct of years of frying and sauteing and baking. The grease stench was so entrenched that displacing it involved replacing some heating and cooling equipment, Rosenthal said.

The smell is gone now. So is the restaurants bar and all of the well-built features that made it distinctly a place to serve and eat food. Clearing it out proved harder than anticipated. In some cases where workers might have expected wood, they found concrete.

The chateau-style residence has an updated kitchen with custom cabinetry, marble countertops and walnut parquet flooring in a herringbone pattern. There's a home theater, a music room, a game room and a man cave on the lower level. The master suite has a dressing room and a sculpted ceiling.

Those are a few features in the 10,000-square-foot Saddle River home that will be the setting for this year's Designer Showhouse of New Jersey, the first glimpses of which can be had on Wednesday at a $225-per-ticket preview party.

From Thursday through Nov. 16, public access is a more affordable $35 per person. The showhouse, at 11 Sawmill Road, displays the work of nearly two dozen New Jersey and New York interior designers. The grounds of the two-acre estate are being polished by two landscape firms for this major fundraiser of the Hackensack University Medical Center Foundation.

Visitors will see designer styling in the home's seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, library, garden room, breakfast room and other areas. A showhouse boutique will bring shopping to the home's lower-level entertainment area. Outside, a cabana house near the pool is outfitted for entertaining with a kitchen and fireplace.

Showhouse admission includes a souvenir journal. Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays. Children under six, strollers and pets will not be admitted. Tickets for Wednesday's 6:30 p.m. showhouse preview party are available through hackensackumcfoundation.org. Call (551) 996-3720.

Hot homes: 'Canoe on the lake ... watch the deer'

The estate, on 2.7 acres, is in the northern hills of San Juan Capistrano.

OMAR NAZIF

A loggia with under-lit onyx countertops, a thatched palapa including a pizza oven, and a swimming pool with fire urns and a hidden waterslide give one of the largest homes on the market in San Juan Capistrano the feel of an island resort.

Set on 2.7 acres, the residence is in the Malaspina Ranch community in the citys northern hills. The 11,000-square foot, six-bedroom main house has venetian plaster walls, towering ceilings, two master suites, a home theater, and a formal office appointed in cherrywood, with coffered ceilings, a spiral staircase and loft.

The kitchen looks like something out of a showroom, with a massive island, La Cornue stove and Miele speed oven and speed steamer. The Sub-Zero refrigerator has a glass front.

A 2,500-square-foot guest house on the property boasts another distinct feature that kitchen has not merely a refrigerator, but a refrigerated room.

The estate at 30302 Malaspina Road, built in 2010, is on the market for $8.9 million.

Both the main and guest houses are covered by a solar power set-up that is owned, rather than leased, said the listing agent, Suzi Dailey of HOM Sothebys International Realty.

The estate has 19 flat-screen TVs, inside and out. The multilevel backyard includes a meditation area, an art barn for kids, trees growing apples, bananas, blueberries and figs, outdoor kitchens, and a firepit and seating area.
